I just spent a long time making this topic and then my internet decided to shut of for three minutes and it was earased. So this will be short. I Remebered comments from the director topic that naming movies would be easier than directors. Feel free to mention why the movies are worthy of your favoritism. So here it is. I'll start.

In no particular order:Pulp Fiction (Bruce willis with a KATANA) Hot FuzzThe Life Aquatic with Steve ZissouMunichShutter IslandAliens Reservoir DogsThe AbyssStarship TroopersShaun of the DeadV for Vendetta (Hugo Weaving walking out of the flames looking like a zombie and screaming at the sky was incredibly awsome)The profesional (The middle lagged horribly, but Gary Oldman's psychotic genius made the corrupt cop was possibly one of my favorite performances ever) Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood's performance was hilarious and heart breaking at the same time)Sunshine (2001 + 28 days later)The Blues Brothers (Dan and John plus good music) I am legend (My favorite book)Inglorious Basterds The Hunt for Red OctoberSaving Private Ryan Jaws Jurassic ParkStar WarsThere will be blood (I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE. Pretty much 2001 a space odyssy except it's about oil in 1898)The Plague Dogs (John Hurt is wondeful, even just as a voice. This really might be my favorite movie ever)Nineteen eighty-four (John Hurt again)Signs (M. Night's best movie. I CRAVED THE INTENSITY)Brazil(llllllllllllllll la la la la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaaa)The village (I don't care what you say, I liked this movie alot. It combined my two favorite things, history and mystery/horror)The MatrixDr. StrangeloveIndiana JonesApocolypse now (The end... of our elaborate plans... the end. Oh, right, the horror... the horror...)The Shining2001 a space odyssyCube (Total mind f***!)

I agree with all of those (added to my list). Except Crimson Tide. Only movie there that I never saw.SEAN CONNERY AS A RUSSIAN was great.

I reserve the right to amend and revise this list as necessary and in accordance with federal law (and the prophecy).

YOU LIKED THE 2005 BATTALSTAR GALACTICA SERIES TOO?!?!I've watched the series from start to finish and the last episode was devastating.They finally arive on earth after two years of searching and it has been destroyed in a nuclear war

The string in my leg, it's just gone, jack. What? Yes Jack, it's this string you see and uh...

NosferatuTexas Chainsaw Massacre SeriesFriday the 13th SeriesNightmare on Elm Street SeriesHalloween SeriesDraculaNight of the Living DeadZombie HolocaustLucio Fuluci's "Zombie"Day of the DeadLand of the DeadDawn of the DeadWhite ZombieThe Serpent and the RainbowShaun of the DeadReturn of the Living Dead (1, 2, & 3)FidoResident Evil SeriesEraserheadThe Blair WitchZombie Death HouseScannersEaten AliveEvil DeadArmy of DarknessZombie Land

Basically a WHOLE lot of horror movies. Primarily ones containing zombies and a LOT of gore. I love the whole cheeseyness of the films. As you can see, I'm in love with horror.

I read Cormac McCarthy's The Road a year ago and loved it. I've wanted to see the movie so badly, and yet It never showed up in any theaters around me. Now I can't find it anywhere.And also, I totally agree with jacob's ladder, i am legend, and hurt locker.

If you liked those, then you would probably also enjoy ‘No Country for Old Men’ (also written by Cormac McCarthy). If you missed the movie version of ‘The Road’ then you’re in luck, in this day and age you can get ANY movie online for free no matter how recent.

I don't know about what you people think but i thought The Hurt Locker was DREADFUL if you watched it once you saw it a million times and it doesn't get better either.

I BEG TO DIFFER. I paid to see it in theaters TWICE. I’ll admit it was low budget, but they did an excellent job of acting out what happens to our men serving overseas.

I wanted to see the Blind Side, I figured it would be really good...and Iron Manbut for both of those I've been promised and promised and promisedand promised but no one ever took me...And di anyone else think G.I Joe was awful????

Does anybody else remember when Hollywood was actually capable of making films of guys fighting CG robots/ninjas/squids/whatever and lots of explosions that were enjoyable not in a "So Bad It's Good" but "Good Good" way?

Re: Favorite MOVIES (?)

i didn't have to see G.I. Joe to know it was bad I say shame on those who went to see it the 3 times 1 time is enough so don't encourage them to make an other P.S. Blindside is okay and there are some VERY awkward moments in it so don't go on a date with someone to see this

Re: Favorite MOVIES (?)

Didn't really wanna post anything because i'm not a movie guy... but i'm surprised nobodies mentioned Sherlock Holmes! I thought it was an awesome movie!

Hmmm... probably an interesting topic, given how i would be very very very very very apt to disagree harshly with some of those

Perhaps this could be a movie topic, for all things related to movies, like how there is a music topic?

I know that I'm responding to this a bit late but, if you disagree with any of my opinions I'd love to know why, seeing that I love a bit friendly debate.

edit

Also, I just recently rediscovered an excellent movie called Below, made by David Twohy (also made Pitch Black of the Riddick Chronicles). Both of the films are great and spooky. Below combines alot of my favorite stuff, being about an American u-boat stranded in the Atlantic in 1943 being haunted by a vengful ghost. I recomend it.

Personally, my favs areThat new Sherlock Holmes (critics be muffins and cookiesed)13 Days,Dark Knight,Cloverfield,Schindler’s List,Signsand some more that I forgot to list, probably.

..although I personally found that Avatar was quite dissapointing. Just throwing that out there.

You're te first person I've ever met to agree with me on that! I too thought that Avatar was disappointing. I mean, James Cameron's other earlier films were much better in my opinion (which could be wrong) And also, who else thinks that signs was M. Night Shamalayns best movie?

SIGNS?!

Signs.

Tell me you're joking. Please.

I liked the Sixth Sense better, personally. It's been a while since I've seen one of M. Night Shyamalamadingdong's films, but the thing with the baseball bat in Signs... Kinda ruined it for me.

I loved Signs. I loved the characters (excep the little by, he was a bit annoying) the music was incredible and I thought that it was oveall a great movie. Don't worry, I hated the Happening. I'm not that crazy.

And the baseball bat... well, why not. I should mention that I'm sorta not religious and I STILL got all wrapped up in the main character's struggle with his faith.

Re: Favorite MOVIES (?)

well, the idea that alien beings are burned by water is sorta redicules unless it was because of the bacteria in water on earth that hurt them and not the h20 itself- but that would be looking too far into it to proove my point. Anyway, my opinion still stands and thanks for responding

also, adding all guy ritchie movies, Zodiac by david fincher, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest with jack nicholson.
